St John Newfoundland - Lookup request
« on: Thursday 04 July 19 13:34 BST (UK) »
Hi there

Before I start yes I have looked at Grandbanks without success.

I am looking for people before 1835 and I know the records are very limited - however there a very kind person out there, who could do some lookups for me?

There is an Elias Rowe listed in the 1794/5 census who had three children a boy and two girls. I believe two for them are:-
Elias born c1770
Elizabeth born c1760

Can anyone confirm these?

Also,

Elias born c1770 went on to have at least two daughters. Can anyone search for the details of his children, please?

The daughter that I know exists is my ancestor Darthula Eliza born c1813.

I have seen a reference to Elias & Eliza being parents to Eliza in 1801.

I've also seen a connection to an Elias being married to a Sarah c1796.

Elias and Darthula's mother I believed had both died before 1835 - again does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance.

Billy Barnowl.
